Export Host Configurations
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
You can generate a host configuration file from an existing system for
|
|
re-installation, upgrade, or maintenance purposes.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |context|
|
|
|
|
You can generate a host configuration file using the :command:`system
|
|
host-bulk-export` command, and then use this file with the :command:`system
|
|
host-bulk-add` command to re-create the system. If required, you can modify the
|
|
file before using it.
|
|
|
|
The configuration settings \(management |MAC| address, BM IP address, and so
|
|
on\) for all nodes except **controller-0** are written to the file.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
To ensure that the hosts are not powered on unexpectedly, the **power-on**
|
|
element for each host is commented out by default.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |prereq|
|
|
|
|
To perform this procedure, you must be logged in as the **admin** user.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |proc|
|
|
|
|
.. _exporting-host-configurations-steps-unordered-ntw-nw1-c2b:
|
|
|
|
- Run the :command:`system host-bulk-export` command to create the host
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
system host-bulk-export [--filename <FILENAME]>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- where <FILENAME> is the path and name of the output file. If the
|
|
``--filename`` option is not present, the default path ./hosts.xml is
|
|
used.

|
|
.. rubric:: |postreq|

|
To use the host configuration file, see :ref:`Reinstall a System Using an
|
|
Exported Host Configuration File

|
<reinstalling-a-system-using-an-exported-host-configuration-file>`.
